The 3 B's- Beauty, Brains and Bravery

Chapter 511: Strippers

Meanwhile, as the Superfamily men excogitated Xi Yuan's Bachelor Party, the Six Tigresses took charge of organizing the girl's Bachelorette.

"Oh my good God!", Rong Xinghe covered her wide-open mouth as her sister pulled the blindfold off of her eyes. Surprised to have been surrounded by all the Youth Team members, including William Young and the Wilson twins, the girl pinched herself in the arm, so as to confirm that that indeed wasn't a dream. 

"Wait! Am I on a Ship right now?!", the girl gasped, looking around to take in the sight of the widespread ocean around her. 

"Yes.", Rong Xiao chuckled, jumping up excitedly, "It's Bro Lu's. Mystic Oar Cruise, remember? Sister-in-law Tao confiscated it from him three days ago for this party. Isn't it great?!"

"And... expensive.", Rong Xinghe mumbled nervously. 

"You do realize that your to-be Husband is like, the wealthiest businessman in the continent, right?", William Young rolled his eyes, hugging the girl from behind, "Stop worrying about such trivial things for once, will you?"

"Alright. Fine.", the girl giggled, turning around to give her best friend a proper welcome, "I missed you guys so much! I really did.", she then said, smiling at all the other members over the man's shoulder. 

"Congratulations on the Wedding, Xinghe.", William Young laughed, patting the girl's back lightly. 

"We have a gift for you, by the way.", Daniel Wilson smirked, raising his bottle of beer up in the air.

"You do?", Rong Xinghe raised her brows, pulling the Wilson siblings in for a short hug next. "It's right behind you.", Isabella Wilson said, winking at the woman mischievously. And as the girl followed her friends' line of sight, she could literally feel her heart skip a beat or two at once. 

Three men standing upon the bar counter, each staging different professions; a policeman, a doctor, and a firefighter. Smokin' hot bodies, moving and dancing to tantalizing music pulsating through the huge speakers next to them. Male strippers, they were, without a doubt. 

"Oh, Yuan's gonna kill me.", the girl whispered to herself, her breath quick and uneasy.

Se Ruer Nightclub, 22:30;

"Xinghe's going to kill me.", Xi Yuan hissed as a group of young women encircled him and Xi Wei while Xi Fang and Sun Cheng grabbed two stools for themselves by the bar.

Although the Superfamily had arranged for both the parties tonight, none of those lot had any idea about the male and female striptease artists. It was all Xi Wei and William Young, to be precise. But then again, the two men were acknowledged as Country X's wildest party animals for a reason.

"Get them away from me.", Xi Yuan said to the man beside him, his voice freezing cold, "Now."

"Well, they are here to please you, Brother.", Xi Wei gulped, waving at the ladies around him, "And don't you worry. We will keep this a secret from Sister-in-law."

Xi Yuan didn't even attempt to speak to his youngest brother, after that. Instead, he simply glared at one of the women and walked away from them, joining Xi Fang at the bar. Not daring to get any closer to the frighteningly domineering man, the girls simply decided to keep their distance from him, limiting themselves to the center of the dance floor. He was clean and handsome, sure. But there was no way they could bear to face the consequences of his wrath, they realized. It was wise to not play with a blistering fire, after all. 

"So which woman did you like the best?", Sun Cheng laughed out, passing the man a glass of whiskey, "I might be able to help you score."

"Shut up.", Xi Yuan groaned, "This is so childish and immature. And if Xinghe finds out, it's straight-up suicidal too."

"You're supposed to have fun tonight, Yuan.", another one of Xi Yuan's friends, David Simons, remarked, "You want to get into the pool out there?"

"Nah.", the man shook his head.

"Let's go bowling then.", Xi Fang suggested, pointing towards the Arcade Arena, "You've always liked that. Come on, let's do it, Brother."

"Sure.", the man gave in after a few seconds of thought, "We could do that."

"That's the spirit!", Sun Cheng stood up cheerfully, "Let's cover the gaming section first. I'll host the drinking challenges next."

"I am in.", Xi Fang shrugged, getting off his barstool next. As long as Xi Yuan received a night of relaxation, it didn't matter how he celebrated it. Truth be spoken, spending time laughing and playing with his friends was probably the perfect way for him to really commemorate this night anyway.

Elite Saphire Penthouse,10:15;

Rong Xinghe walked in into her darling's place, her head still aching from the mindblowing night she'd had. At this point, all she wanted to do was get some sleep in his arms, assuming he was in there. As everything in her vision blurred and floated, the girl laughed to herself. She must've slugged down the entire sea to have had such a painful hangover, she thought. 

As she leaned against the Master bedroom's doorframe, Rong Xinghe realized that her darling was already lying over the bed lazily. 

"Xinghe?", the man frowned, noticing the quiet girl at the room's entrance, "Come here."

"How was the party?", the girl chuckled, climbing up on the bed, burying her face into his chest. 

"Wonderfully entertaining.", the man smiled, "I don't think I've laughed that much since I was a kid, you know. What about you? How was your Bachelorette?"

"It was so amazing, I cannot even begin to-- wait...", Rong Xinghe stopped mid-sentence, smelling the man's shirt, "That's a feminine perfume, Mr. Xi."

Listening to the woman's words, Xi Yuan opened his eyes and looked up at her anxiously, "I can explain.", he said, sitting up. 

"Strippers, right?", the girl pressed her lips, cupping the man's face affectionately. 

"Yeah.", the man nodded, staring at the girl with curiosity in his gaze, "You too?"

"Yep.", Rong Xinghe burst out laughing, "None, as hot as you, though."

"Why, thank you, Love.", Xi Yuan laughed back, his tone a little relieved, "Those ladies weren't as alluring as you themselves too if you ask me."

"Thank you, but I really want to sleep, Yuan.", the girl smiled tiredly, resting her head against his, "Let's please talk later?"

"Of course, Ma Jolie.", the man said gently, reaching for the blanket next to him.
